In-mold Labels - IML

In-mold labels are molded to containers during production process. To produce both label and package, compatible materials are to be used. As a result, label appears as part of the container. One of the main advantages is that the package can be recycled completely.

Labels are produced from synthetic materials, so printing guarantees clear graphic and image as well as no glue spots, wrinkles or any other defects. The label is a part of the container; the image surface is large since the whole container surface gets decorated. The label and the container have the same size, thus providing symmetric labeling. Such a label cannot be falsified.

In-mold labels are water, grease, weather, and scuff resistant; they also sustain extreme temperatures.

In-mold labeling eliminates the need for a separate labeling process, which saves the cost of additional labeling equipment and the additional labor to run it, thus increasing efficiency of the manufacturing process as it is. In-mold labels can be applied to containers of various forms.

We produce IMLs for injection molded polymeric containers. This technology is used to manufacture containers for food and chemicals. These containers may have various forms and are used for packing food, preserves, liquids, including disposable packing.

IMLs are produced using the following materials:

• white gloss film
• transparent gloss film
• white “orange skin” film

Nowadays we are developing in-mold labeling technique for blow-molded containers.

This technology is used while producing containers for motor oil, chemicals and cleaning products.
